Delek Logistics Partners LP

Current report

We may be unsuccessful in integrating the operations of the assets we have acquired or may acquire with our operations, and in realizing all or any part of the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions.

Current report

From time to time, we evaluate and acquire assets and businesses that we believe complement our existing assets and businesses. Acquisitions may require substantial capital or the incurrence of substantial indebtedness. Our capitalization and results of operations may change significantly as a result of completed or future acquisitions. Acquisitions and business expansions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the assets and operations of the acquired businesses, inefficiencies and difficulties that arise because of unfamiliarity with new assets and the businesses associated with them, and new geographic areas and the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns. Further, unexpected costs and challenges may arise whenever businesses with different operations or management are combined, and we may experience unanticipated delays in realizing the benefits of an acquisition. Also, following an acquisition, we may discover previously unknown liabilities associated with the acquired business or assets for which we have no recourse under applicable indemnification provisions.

Current report

On August 2, 2024, we entered into the H2O Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of H2O Midstream. We expect the transaction to close by the end of 2024, subject to closing conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the acquisition of H2O Midstream will not be consummated. If the closing of the H2O Midstream acquisition is substantially delayed or does not occur at all, or if the terms of the acquisition are required to be modified substantially, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition fully or at all, or they may take longer to realize than expected.

Current report

The H2O Midstream acquisition will require management to devote significant attention and resources to integrating the H2O Midstream business with our business. Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include, among others:

Current report

•the inability to successfully integrate the H2O Midstream business into our business in a manner that permits us to achieve the revenue and cost savings that we announced as anticipated from the acquisition;

Current report

•complexities associated with managing the larger, integrated business;

Current report

•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the acquisition;

Current report

•integrating personnel from the two companies while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high-quality products and services;

Current report

•loss of key employees;

Current report

•performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the acquisition and integration of H2O Midstream’s operations into us; and

Current report

•the disruption in each company’s ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies.

Current report

Furthermore, delays or difficulties in the integration process could adversely affect our business, financial results, financial condition and stock price. Even if we are able to integrate our business operations successfully, there can be no assurance that the integration will result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies that we currently expect or have communicated from this integration or that these benefits will be achieved within the anticipated timeframe.
